The Essence of All Life
Gazing upon a crystal lake
Shimmering light of reflections
Painting a picture of me, inside
Shadowing my, imperfections
Skimming a pebble across its face
Bouncing along, ripples create
Finally, sinking beneath the surface
Bubbles arise, as its weight subsides
Captivating beauty to one’s eyes
Early in the morning, a mist arise
Floating seamlessly, above the lake
Breathing in the coolness of the air
Moisture felt on your face and hands
Soaked up, by tiny pours in your glands
Vapour condensed on the leafs of trees
Dew drops falling replenishing the land
Floating on top in a boat, romantically
Aware of the splashes to the side
Rowing silently through without care
The undercurrent, strong as the tide
Evaporating back into the atmosphere
Continuously watering our earth
Transporting minerals every where
The hydrologic cycle, we surf
Hydrogen is a very combustible gas
This liquid we all need, alas
One molecule containing three atoms
Two hydrogen, one oxygen, amass
Marvellously, creating our weather
Chemically bonded together
With nuclei and electrons
And crystallized, perfections
Drink plenty of water, we must
Be like fluid, not rust
The ripples begun, dry ice round the sun
So go with the flow, the water is fun
And this is our H20
